Raised in stainless steel tanks, released early, this is a charming wine from one of Hungary’s pioneer winemakers of the modern era, Bálint Losonci. Let’s call it a bistro Pinot – it has immediate appeal. So easy to drink, yet has that savory character, that Pinot finesse thing which keeps it interesting until the last drop. Bursts with rhubarb and hibiscus, strawberry and cherry, in a crisp fashion. Light and moderately structured on the palate, with perfect balance and convincing intensity. It’s complete. A lovely everyday wine.
